Oregon Vortex and Silver Falls State Park : Podcast 29

January 22, 2017 by Scott Leave a Comment

Oregon Vortex and Silver Falls State Park

As our time in Ashland closed, we were undecided about where to go and what to see.  We decided to head up to Portland and look for things to do along the way.  The Oregon Vortex and Silver Falls State Park were the choices.  Listen to Sue and I talk about our visits!

We were heading up I-5 from Ashland to Portland when we saw signs for the Oregon Vortex.  We kept seeing them, so finally decided to take the short side trip and see it was all about.  Never seen anything like it.  Be sure to listen to us talk about our visit.

I did talk about this picture on the podcast, so here it is.  Same girl, at different ends of a board in the Vortex, seems to change sizes.  I’ve taken her from two different pictures and combine to show the change in size when we moved from one end of the three feet board in the Vortex to the other.  You’ll have to listen to the podcast to make sense of the picture, and I’ll explain it in more detail in a future post.

Oregon Vortex

The next day, after staying in Salem, Oregon, we decided to head to Silver Falls State Park, because Sue loves waterfalls.  Spectacular is the word to use.  We loved our visit there, so enjoy hearing about that part of our journey as well.
